Diuretics II addresses every aspect of diuretics from basic pharmacology to clinical and experimental applications. The expertise of international scientists and doctors in fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, clinical and investigative medicine give you a thorough and up-to-date presentation of diuretics and their effects on the kidneys and other organ systems. This volume covers new and investigational diuretic agents, transport physiology and the molecular basis of diuretic action, the atrial natriuretic factor, along with drug-induced renal disease and metabolic abnormalities as they relate to diuretic administration. Piretanide, Tripamide, Cicletanine, Torasemide, Furosemide are among a few of the diuretics selected for review in this thorough investigation on diuretics designed specifically for all who employ, investigate and develop diuretic drugs.

A fascinating collection of the pictures, figures, and diagrams that chemists create to explain their craft In A Chemical History Tour, Arthur Greenberg took readers on a wild romp through the history of chemistry, introducing the unique characters, sometimes bizarre theories, and novel experiments that ultimately produced the modern science. Now Greenberg returns with more tales of chemistry glory, lovingly chronicling the extraordinary artwork that alchemists and chemists have produced in their pursuit of understanding the nature of matter in The Art of Chemistry: Myths, Medicines, and Materials. The Art of Chemistry employs 187 figures (including 16 full-color plates) to illuminate 72 essays on the mythical origins, wondrous experiments, and adventurous explorers in the annals of chemistry. Greenberg divides his delightful study into eight sections: 
<ul>
<li>Spiritual and Mythological Roots</li> <li>Stills, Cupels, and Weapons</li> <li>Medicines, Purges, and Ointments</li> <li>An Emerging Science</li> <li>Two Revolutions in France</li> <li>A Young Country and a Young Theory</li> <li>Specialization and Systemization</li> <li>Some Fun</li> </ul> Each section tracks chemistry's incremental progress from myth to modern science, featuring the figures and diagrams that early chemists used to explain their craft. Along the way, readers will meet the deadly basilisk and the fabulous phoenix that populated the lore of pre-modern chemistry, learn the contributions to chemistry of the American natural philosopher Benjamin Franklin, and encounter Antoine Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry and perhaps France's greatest economist. Greenberg also examines our fundamental connections with science through two personal essays, one on an adolescent friend who improbably (but perhaps inevitably) became a world-renowned entomology professor and the other on his quest to discover his own chemical heritage. The Art of Chemistry is sure to inform and entertain anyone interested in our eternal quest to know the natural world.

Advances in Boron and the Boranes Edited by Joel F. Liebman Arthur Greenberg Robert E. Williams This volume, coedited with R. E. Williams of the Loker Research Institute of the University of Southern California, is a collection of interwoven essays in homage to Professor Anton B. Burg, a pioneer of modern inorganic chemistry. The book inseparably overlaps inorganic, organic, and organometallic chemistry; applications to homogeneous catalysis and drug design complement models more of interest to physical and theoretical chemists. Two Nobel laureates, Professors Lipscomb and Pauling, have contributed essays to the volume.

Take a stroll through this one-of-a-kind book that offers readers an illustrated tour of how chemistry developed, from alchemy to the emergence of chemistry as a scientific discipline in the early 17th century, and, finally, modern-day chemistry. Discover this rare collection of more than 180 illustrations spanning 400 years of chemical publications, with each illustration accompanied by an essay discussing its significance in the context of historical scientific beliefs as well as modern chemical science. The author's knowledge and enthusiasm for the books, images, and subject matter are clearly reflected throughout the very readable, informative, and frequently funny essays. High-quality, full-page reproductions from the author's art collection, published from 1599 to the present, are eloquently displayed.

A Chemical History Tour: Picturing Chemistry from Alchemy to Modern Molecular Science

Praise for From Alchemy to Chemistry in Picture and Story "The timeline from alchemy to chemistry contains some of the most mystifying ideas and images that humans have ever devised. Arthur Greenberg shows us this wonderful world in a unique and highly readable book." ―Dr. John Emsley, author of The Elements of Murder: A History of Poison "Art Greenberg takes us, through text and lovingly selected images, on a 'magical mystery tour' of the chemical universe. No matter what page you open, there is a chemical story worth telling." ―Dr. Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Laureate and coauthor of Chemistry Imagined "Chemistry has perhaps the most intricate, most fascinating, and certainly most romantic history of all the sciences. Arthur Greenberg's essays-delightful, learned, quirky, highly personal, and richly illustrated with contemporary drawings (many of great rarity and beauty)-provide a kaleidoscope of intellectual landscapes, bringing the experiments, the ideas, and the human figures of chemistry's past intensely alive." ―Dr. Oliver Sacks, author of Awakenings From Alchemy to Chemistry in Picture and Story takes you on an illustrated tour of chemistry's fascinating history, from its early focus on the spiritual relationship between man and nature to some of today's most cutting-edge applications. Drawing from rare publications and artwork that span over five centuries, the book contains nearly 200 essays and over 350 illustrations-including 24 in full color-that tell the engaging story of the development of this fundamental science and its connection with human history. Join Arthur Greenberg as he combines the "best of the best" from his previous works (as well as several new essays) to paint a colorful picture of chemistry's remarkable origins!

From Alchemy to Chemistry in Picture and Story

History

Although the first real unifying theory of chemistry was developed in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the 20th century saw many advances in the field of chemistry as well. From its Asian and Arabic roots in mystical and spiritual alchemy, ancient medicine, metallurgy, and crafts to the recent decoding of the human genome and the creation of nanochips for computers, the field of chemistry has come a long way in scientific discovery. Chemistry: Decade by Decade provides an outline of advances in this exciting science field. Written for a broad audience of readers who have had at least one or two chemistry classes at the high school or college level, this illuminating volume is almost completely non-mathematical. It features solid, accessible information that is geared toward younger students, college students, teachers, and scientists and non-scientists alike. This volume is also enhanced with black-and-white photographs and line illustrations.
